I think I’ve committed the unforgivable sin. I’ve sinned wilfully lots of times with lust thinking I could just repent straight after but now I think I’ve gone too far as I can’t feel any remorse for sin, my desire for God has gone, my fear of hell has gone and the gospel doesn’t feel like reality anymore, it’s almost like I don’t care at all. I know this is a very dangerous situation to be in, please pray I’ll get my desire for God back and hate my sin.

You are here requesting prayer are you not? Sounds like a good start to me.

Be careful in trusting those feelings.  Feelings change and are sometimes based on shaky ground.

I can understand why you don't "feel" remorse, or a desire for God, or a fear of hell.  Excessive and prolonged sinful behavior will absolutely numb you to feeling pretty much of anything except an addictive pull to the next fix - whatever that may be:  gluttonous eating, drunkenness, fornication, filthy TV, obsessive lying, porn, impure thoughts, feeding a rage, bitterness, jealousy, or self-pity ..... and the list continues ad nausem.

Sin is a deceiving thing.  People are misled by the numbness into believe that what they are doing isn't going to harm them.  People become mindless and robotic slaves to the sin and ergo, embracing nothing of what is holy and pure - and lastly the numbness comes.

God promised a way of escape from sin.  

When I taught school, a child that had practiced a spelling word wrong or had memorized the wrong answer to a multiplication fact had a tough time "unlearning" that.  That's because the brain is a stubborn thing.  Once something is learned - it's learned.  It takes much practice to unlearn the wrong and to learn the right.

It's like that with people who habitually practice a sinful behavior.

That's because mind is a stubborn thing.  It is full of strongholds - so says the Bible. And strongholds are just that:  STRONG and HOLDING.

Because you've practiced this sin habitually, it's going to habitually attack you, especially when you are tired, weak, or irritable.  Like a drug, it's going to scream for you and your mind will be a literal battlefield

But you can win this.

Don't make a goal of "feeling" the right "feels."  Just like the little boy in my room who - every. single. time. - was going to say that 7 x 4 was 24, it didn't matter how he felt about it.  He missed it in word problems, speed drills, basic tests .... all the time.  It was ingrained in him and it took a lot of practice to get it right.  He finally did.

You have to allow God to heal your mind and you have to be transformed by the renewing of your mind.

  • Start with reading some of the gospels and some of the book of Acts/Romans.  Do this every day.  More than once a day if necessary.  The Word of God "washes" us - so says Ephesians 5.  
  • Find people who are passionate about living for the Lord and make them your new friends.
  • Acknowledge that this stronghold is killing you spiritually speaking.  Ephesians also says that we are all in a spiritual battle.  When it lists the spiritual weapons, the Bible is the only weapon listed twice:  The belt of truth and the sword of the spirit which the Bible says is the word of God.  The belt - defensive weapon.  The sword - offensive weapon.

You won't "feel" much when you start reading the word to break down a stronghold.  The stronghold will LIE to you and say that the word is powerless and doesn't pertain to you.

Keep reading.  Every day.  More than once if necessary.  Take notes if necessary.  Read it out loud, sing it, pray it, or memorize it if necessary.

Let the word of God wash you and defeat this stronghold.

Feelings can't be trusted.  If you didn't care, why would you ask for prayer?  Why would you post it on a forum?  Whatever sin you are committing, stop doing it.  Repent!  God will forgive you but you have to do your part as well.

 

God bless

First, understand what the unforgivable sin is: It is against the Holy Spirit. Basically, if He comes knocking and you refuse Him, you miss out on salvation. That's it.

But you also sound like you don't know what life is all about. Life is your opportunity to choose where you want to spend eternity. Your choice. What you do in life is a witness for or against yourself. We are giving testimony as in a trial. But in this case, you speak for yourself. You are called to the stand. You may approach the bench. What do you plea?

Live it.

Shalom,

I think I’ve committed the unforgivable sin... I know this is a very dangerous situation to be in...

Well, the thinking is in the right direction.

...I’ve sinned wilfully lots of times with lust thinking I could just repent straight after...

That's dangerous indeed. Kindly read Hebrews 10:26.

...but now I think I’ve gone too far as I can’t feel any remorse for sin...

See yourself what the compromise with Satan is all about.

...my desire for God has gone...  please pray I’ll get my desire for God back and hate my sin.

Please note, we can pray for you and knock the brazen Heavens, because only you might and should take that decision.

...my fear of hell has gone...

That's because you (like many) don't know what you are talking about.

...and the gospel doesn’t feel like reality anymore it’s almost like I don’t care at all...

Yes, it's in full accord with John 10:10. Could you please kick the thief out?

Even so, repent wholeheartedly. Confess your sins. And fare thee well...

Mind Luke 15:20.

I pray for you. Igor

The thing to do is pray to God for help. Also pray that he will save you . He can renew you then. It's the holy spirit that can renew your heart. But don't give up. It's the holy spirit who is making you fear that your numb to God. Otherwise you would not care about your situation. That's a good sign. But make haste and draw near to God and he will draw near to you.. That's in James. God blessing to you.

Don't let Satan get the best of you. Pray to God and tell Him what is on your heart.

Hey Steve, you've gotten a lot of good answers so far. What can I say that's different. Were you born in 1993? That would make you 24 or 25. I wasn't even saved yet but once I was saved all I did was worry about committing the unforgivable sin. That was pre-Internet days so I bought and read anything and everything on the unforgivable sin. I was finally convinced by an old time preacher named Kenneth Hagin Sr. It was an article in his magazine that convinced me. I was probably 40ish and a believer some 10 yrs. When you say lust I assume you mean sexual lust. Whether it's with other people or porn doesn't matter, it's hard to get rid of. So it's a sin but what would make it unforgivable. If I remember right, there are several conditions. Actually a new believer can't commit it because 1 condition is you must have experienced the magnificence of God. Very few people did this when new. Moses did, John the Baptist did, Jesus of course and a few others. The way Hagin put it you must have tasted what it means to have the Holy Spirit in you and then you had to tell the HS Hey you, get out of me, I want that person (or whatever). Many times in my long life I thought I tasted the HS but I was wrong. How would you know? Back in my day they said you had to speak in other tongues, I did not, plus I loved looking at semi nude girls so I figured what you do. Hagin convinced me tongues are not some magical language. He also said you need to have experienced the HS in your life. (this isn't to be saved, this is to be able to commit the unforgivable sin) Have you ever prayed for healing and it happened right away? That was one thing. Have you ever seen any kind of miracle happen and you knew it was God without a shadow of a doubt. I never had. there were more conditions too but my old brain just doesn't remember. 

My guess is you're young and our world is full of sexual temptations. You want to enjoy them but you still want to be of God. That sounds incongruous so you figure you seared your conscience. But if you had God wouldn't matter to you at all. I hope I helped convince you.
